It just doesn’t get much tougher than the Toyota Land Cruiser. The 2021 model year does justice to the Land Cruiser’s reputation without adding the baubles and extraneous designs that other modern SUVs seem to employ. Here are just a few of the reasons you should consider making the 2021 Land Cruiser your next SUV.
-
Nearly Unstoppable Strength
For many decades, the Land Cruiser has been an off-road-ready SUV that can handle itself in situations other vehicles wouldn’t dare to attempt. The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser is no different. Take on the road with this SUV’s standard 5.7-liter V-8 engine that pumps out 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. The engine’s eight-speed automatic transmission delivers an efficient shifting experience that keeps you pushing forward.
-
Adventuring Spirit
The Land Cruiser’s standard four-wheel-drive system allows you to take on some of the slickest roads, paved or otherwise. In addition to this traction-enhancing strength, the Land Cruiser also employs a classic independent double-wishbone suspension system that smooths out rough roads. Along with skid plates, a rigged steel ladder frame, and the decoupling stabilizer bar, the Land Cruiser treats trails like they’re shopping trips.
-
First-Class Technology
As rugged as the Land Cruiser is on the outside, it may be surprising to find that the cabin is fully loaded with plenty of luxurious features right from the get-go. The Land Cruiser is offered in two trim levels: the self-titled base Land Cruiser and the Heritage Edition.
Each model is loaded with premium interior features, including a 14-speaker JBL sound system that gives new life to old songs. The standard 9-inch touch screen allows you to integrate your phone with your SUV to create a hands-free experience. Other standard tech include the automatic dimming rearview mirror, satellite radio, and wireless phone charger. The one non-standard tech feature you may want to consider is the rear entertainment system with two screens that will keep restless rear-row riders happy.
-
All-Weather Comfort
With the Land Cruiser, you don’t have to wait until the weather clears to comfortably take on your adventures. The first two rows offer a heating function that lets you stay cozy in the winter. Throw in the leather-trimmed heated steering wheel to boost your cold-weather comfort. The ventilated front seats and four-zone automatic climate control take care of the rest of the year’s seasons. The heated outside mirrors keep your vision clear in icy climates.
-
Exterior Features
When lesser SUVs get stuck in the mud, you can use the Land Cruiser’s rear and front tow hooks to help them out. The LED headlights give you superior vision at night. Opt for the Heritage Edition to give your SUV bronze-colored wheels and the adventure-ready Yakima roof rack. Its standard sunroof lets natural light fall into your cabin.
If you think the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser is the SUV you need to take your adventures to a new level, give Fox Toyota of El Paso a visit. Be warned: after a test drive, you may end up wanting to see where else the Land Cruiser can take you!
